can compile them and be sure I didn't miss one... please no custom paint
jobs! Just Factory Shipped colors...

In addition to posting it here, please email it to me @

Was the change in Classic Red just for Canada or for the US/rest of the
world too? And how can they still call it Classic Red if it's different?

Change was worldwide...data's on the US Mazda website.

The change was from a non-clearcoat to clearcoat paint...hence the code
change. Same happened with Brillian Black, just a tick earlier.

Prior to that, all non-metallic (mica) paints only were clearcoated on the
front and rear bumper caps.
